Short answer

Open pandafile.co in Safari, Chrome or any phone browser, tap Choose files, pick your photos or videos, and share the link. There's no app to install, and uploads resume if your signal drops.

Phone videos get big fast. A few minutes of 4K can be several gigabytes, far too much for a text message or an email. Pandafile works in your phone's browser, so you can send them without installing anything.

Send from your phone

  1. Open Safari, Chrome or another browser and go to pandafile.co.
  2. Tap Choose files. Your phone lets you pick from your photo library or your files.
  3. Select the photos, videos or documents you want to send.
  4. Choose Get a link, or Send by email to have us email it to someone.
  5. Tap Send and keep the page open while the bamboo bar fills up.
  6. When it is done, tap Copy link and paste it into WhatsApp, Messages or anywhere else.

Is there a Pandafile app?

Not at the moment. There is no iPhone or Android app, and you don't need one: the website does everything. If you see a Pandafile app in an app store, it isn't from us.

Tips for big uploads on mobile

  • Use Wi-Fi if you can. Large videos can use a lot of mobile data.
  • Keep the browser tab open and the screen awake until the upload finishes. Phones may pause pages that are in the background.
  • If your signal drops, don't worry. The upload carries on from where it stopped when you are back online.
  • Plug in for really big transfers, so your battery doesn't run out halfway.

Folders on a phone

Some phone browsers only let you choose files, not whole folders. If you don't see a way to pick a folder, select the files instead, or use a computer when you need the folder structure kept.

Downloading on a phone

Your recipients can download on their phones too. They tap a file to save it, or download everything as a ZIP. On iPhone, downloaded files usually appear in the Files app, in Downloads.
